Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
The Simple calendar for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in all versions up to, and including, 1.6.6. This is due to missing capability checks on the `miga_ajax_editor_cal_delete` function that is hooked to the `miga_editor_cal_delete` AJAX action with both authenticated and unauthenticated access enabled. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary calendar entries by sending a request with a valid nonce and the calendar entry ID.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

The Simple calendar for Elementor WordPress plugin has a missing authorization vulnerability in the AJAX handler `miga_ajax_editor_cal_delete`. The function lacks capability checks and allows both authenticated and unauthenticated access, enabling attackers to delete arbitrary calendar entries by providing a valid nonce and the target calendar entry ID.

MitigationUpdate to version 1.6.7 or later which should include proper capability checks on the AJAX action, or implement a temporary fix by adding `check_ajax_referer()` and capability verification before the deletion logic.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Confirm plugin installation
    Navigate to WordPress Admin > Plugins and locate 'Simple Calendar for Elementor' or inspect the plugin directory wp-content/plugins/
    Affected if Plugin is installed
  2. Check installed version
    In WordPress Admin > Plugins, view the plugin details to see the installed version number. Compare this against version 1.6.7
    Affected if Installed version is lower than 1.6.7
  3. Locate the vulnerable AJAX handler
    Examine the plugin PHP files for the function named miga_ajax_editor_cal_delete - typically found in the main plugin file or ajax handler include
    Affected if The function exists and lacks capability checks such as current_user_can() or wp_verify_nonce() validation before the deletion logic
  4. Test unauthorized AJAX access
    Send a POST request to wp-admin/admin-ajax.php with action=miga_ajax_editor_cal_delete and observe if the endpoint responds without requiring authenticated user permissions
    Affected if The endpoint processes requests without proper authorization

The environment is affected if the Simple Calendar for Elementor plugin is installed with a version below 1.6.7 and the miga_ajax_editor_cal_delete AJAX handler can be accessed without proper capability verification.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Update to version 1.6.7 or later which should include proper capability checks on the AJAX action, or implement a temporary fix by adding `check_ajax_referer()` and capability verification before the deletion logic.
